Today I realized that tomorrow might be the last day that both Nathan and I will both be off together before the baby. Since Nathan starts back to school on Monday, his schedule becomes very hectic which doesn't allow him to have a day off. Also since his classes have changed so has his schedule for work. He will be down at PITT for the majority of the day Monday through Thursday, and then work Friday, Saturday and Sunday. While he is busy doing this I will be trying to pick up as many substitute positions as possible before the baby comes, along with getting things ready for the arrival of our new addition to our family!!
It is kind of sad to think that Nathan and I won't have many more opportunities for the both of us to hang out, but at the same time it is beyond exciting to know we are getting so close to the baby being with us. To be honest, I don't like spending so many evenings by myself, but I understand Nathan has a busy schedule and him going to school to get his engineering degree will only make things better for us in the future. I try to remind myself of how far we have come from not being able to see each other for months at a time to now being married and sharing our home together. I just can't help that I always want to be with him. I can never get enough time with him, he leaves and a part of me always gets a little upset.
Knowing that very soon when Nathan leaves for work or school I will no longer be by myself is such a good feeling. I am excited to bond with our little one during the day. I am excited to have little surprises for Nate(daddy) when he gets home. I am excited to take the little one down to the campus to go for a walk or have lunch with Nate on his breaks. I am excited to see Nathan work on his homework as the baby is sleeping in the same room. As much as I want Nate to be home with us once the baby is here, we will make the best of it!
Nathan and my life is about to change very much, very soon. It is still hard to grasp the concept that we are going to be parents. Nathan and my schedule is going to be very busy from here on out, but at the same time being so busy will only make our relationship and our family stronger.
So now that I think about it, the chance that tomorrow is our last day both being off together before the baby doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. It just means good things are about to change for better!
